Apologies for the delay.
This is what standard proposals look like with Charlie right now.
On average, he does consider some opps in the $50k range for a one off, but more often
than not its a lot higher. Some recent ones from less organic categories, have been paying
in the range of $100k per fully produced asset, Charlie pushes out to all of his channels, and
creates!
